BIT about DIP.

Lets talk about it. DIP or what I like to call// have called since I was little, "BIP". Call it what you may...Sauce, dressing, dip...I LOVE IT. Ever since I was little "Bip" has been a VITAL part of every snack and meal. I have been thinking about it lately and I just don't know why...it's just on of those quorky things... :] It [DIP] is one of those things that you just can't go without. It brings a little more life to the food, and enhances the flavors. Kind of a strange-r obsession, straying from the usual soda craving, sweet tooth, etc,etc...I know...Just Kind of Weird. As i think about it, I know that all forms of dip are just empty calories...abosolutely necessary empty calories that is. Some chose to invest their calorie useage into cookies and candy galore...but dip is simply my calorie waster of choice... Fry Sauce to Ranch, Aritichoke dip to Ketchup, Barbeque Sauce to Sour Cream. Dip, my friends is always a good Idea.

HAPPY DIPPING!

Chocolate Bananas & Sunburns.

The FIRST MONTH at home has flown by like...I don't even know what! Just FAST. I has been the best being home and working. I love my job, especially the people I work with. It has been such a change being home, due to the lack of people my age. My friend Calee and me have been the only members of the Vegas Crew the past month...but we had an exciting & and reuniting trip to look forward too...Memorial Day weekend could not have come any faster! To Mickey Headquarters and the beach we reported!! This past weekend Calee, Me, Sarah, our friend Maddie, My aunt and her best friend made our way down to our kind of paradise... The beach and all of its activites ( people watching and tanning our personal favorites) beaconed to us. Disney treated us well with it's ever lovely plethera of food [CHOCOLATE BANANAS: personal favorite.] , rides, laughs, and just a little more people watching. This trip was the much needed break from real life. :] We jammed, told stories, ate, ate, laughed, laughed...& oh SUNBURNED. No worries, or the quote of the trip...IT'S FINE.

Beach Time...right after we stuffed ourselves silly for brunch at the SUGAR SHACK.

Summertime.

Summertime. In my kind of paradise. I am officially home in the 702, with my family, my little Winston puppy, my bed , fridge, shower, couches, and, my kind of sunshine. My family always teases me that every movie is my favorite movie, or that every song is my favorite song...in some cases this is the truth! This is the same with Provo, and Las Vegas. Both are home to me in some form, both have different aspects of life and diferent pleasures in store. I love being content,o I choose to be wherever I am, but still progressing. I read something from general conference that instructed us to have balanced contentment! I ad never tought about that before...that if we are too content we cease to work to progress! I loved that! Provo, in the fall is going to be the best...But I am beyond HAPPY to be home with my family, at HOME! :]

This summer has many fun plans in store for it, including Disneyland with my family, California, work, work, work, and completeing my summer to-do-list!

Lots to do! :] But I am so excite about it. I took a REcreation Management class this past semester that really taught me alot about life. It taught me to be all enjoying of life, to be like a little child, not childish, but to not take life to seriously! Of course we must be serious about life, but not to much! I learned to take advantage of living, smile, laugh, and influence others to do so as well! We have complete control over our health, and leisure is a way to help improve and maintain good health and spirits! I loved so much the general conference talk given by Sis. Stevens as she addressed us about being as the little children. They are so wonderful and great examples for us to follow.

The Savior is our ultimate example, and because of him, and his atonement will live and will be able to continue living with our father, and families in the eternities. Happy Easter, and a beautiful summertime.

PLG.

ENJOY! & happy April Fool's dayy :]

Jam.

I have officially found my summer ANTHEM.



...this song just gets me beyond excited for summer, aand really is the sound of sunshine! This Vegas girl is ready to back back in the sunshine and driving through the streets windows down, blasting THE SOUND OF SUNSHINE. I am really looking forward to working this summer,being with my family and friends, as well as sporting my new YELLOW POLKA DOT ONE-PIECY! :]

Semester dos...almost el fin?

I cant barely contain my excitement for summer...and with that I can also barely contain my love for this past semester either! WOWwwwwzerrrssss. I have FAILED this semester at blogging...sheeeshh. Well here goes nothin...readers diggest version, maybe...hehhehe :]

I just can't believe that my freshman year of college is just about over...and it makes me kind of sad. I have learned alot this semester...in my classes, about myself, others, and in the gospel. As of this semester I am OFFICIALLY a Reacreation Management Major and headed down a path that i really am passionate about. I was skeptical of first of the major...I just felt like how far can you go with a major in FUN? I am so grateful I took a couple Reacreation classes this semester and found what I truly love, and am so excited about!! :] I am majoring in the commercial emphasis, and hope to go into event planning, non-profit work, and improving the living standards and perspective of life of people. Recreation is so important, and provides the power of laughing and enjoyment! I am really looking forward to moving on in the program....

Speaking of Rec. Management...one of the introductory classes to the major is 189 Careers in Recreations. I decided to tak this class a few weeks into the semester once I decided to declare my major, but more importantly drop sign language...hahaha I had a cast on at the time, and I figured considering I only had one hand available for use, it wasn't the smartest thing to take a class where you communicate with merely your hands! :] Needless to say, I am so happy that i decided to take RMYL 189...We took a week long trip to Rec. sites all over the west (St. George, Las Vegas, Del Mar, San Diego, Orange County, etc) This trip included a totally sweet day trip to Disneyland as well, where we got to do a little meet and greet with imagineers as well! I got to meet alot of entertaining people as well as explore many career options...LOVE IT.

Movies ( JUSTIN BIEBER MOVIE 3D), and fun galore with Sar Bear, Laurel and Alex.... :]]

And in Latest News....I a recently physical therapy graduate, for my little thumb! What a journey that was... After about Ten to twelve weeks of healing, therapy, etc...my little guy is back in action! It is amazing all your thumb allows you to do...I am grateful for my little thumb thumbs. :]

And along with being a survivor of therapy...I am proud to announce that I have survived the SNOW! I will admit to having many thoughts this semester about staying home from class, when I opened my blinds and saw snow falling like crazy...but I went anyway! This winter has just made me more than greatful for the sun, and being raised in a place, where I was hardly ever introduced to snow! The day spring arrived, I was and am a VERY HAPPY CAMPER. I worked at Campus Craft & Floral again this semester, and I really did love it! I have learned so much and made wonderful friends. I also experienced one of the craziest days of my life at work this semester...VALENTINES DAY. We started our preparations for the day at FOUR A.M. The men of BYU campus sure do owe us CC&F girls...hahaha. It was a total madhouse on Valentines day, with a line out the door at all times. But it sure was fun. After all I do love holidays so much and any chance I get to celebrate!

I have made the most wonderful friends this semester...we keep each other in line, laugh our guts out, and have way to much fun together. I really love them. We have done some really fun things this semester...including camping out all night in front of our desired housing complex for next year LIBERTY SQUARE in the negative weather...when we really didn't need to...I can't help but laugh when I think about it. All six of us. SQUISHED in a small tent. Bloated from our great idea of getting Mcdees for a nice middle of the night snack. The sides of our tent condesating. And just laughing from insanity when we finally realised how dumb what we just did was...anyways...WE got a contract right??

I was also able to cross of #132 on my bucketlist with them! HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. It was the blasty-est blast I have had doing service in a long time. We made good friends with our boss SIR. CRAIG. A memory I will never forget!

WE CACKLED. WE SPACKLED. WE SANDED. WE CONQUERED.

We preformed in our ward talent show this semester as well which is something I will never forget...we bought D.I. out of overalls and learned a dance from "Coach" Jacob Guest, that is awkwardly fantastic and simply was unexpected by our ward. We are quite proud of that performance...to the point where we would watch it 20 times in one day. Ever since then we have been in love with making music videos, etc. To much fun together...to much fun. Yes.

SEMESTER DOS ACCOMPLISHED.

well that was a mouthful...

M.M.

This taught me, in all aspects of my life to avoid acting "someday" but rather today. I love this video so much, as it encourages us to act now and the way by which we can return is service. I know that by serving those around us we can be restored to a sense of our divinity, and the divinity of all those around us. Serving others is one of the acts by which we can invite the spirit into our lives and the lives of others. It is a strange and marvelous occurrence, the feeling you can receive upon serving another. It is of the most rewarding and necessary things we can do. In all my actions I hope to serve my fellow men.

Spade.

FOSTER.

I have had to many discussions about Kate Spade lately not to blog about all of the lovely, simple, and delicate goodness brought into this world by her genius. When I googled the word "Feminine" a Kate Spade Add popped up right next to it in correlation to my search...I KID YOU NOT! Femininity is one thing I believe the world and all women could use a little more of. Yes I am of the most guilty of being a slacker in this area...but...we should embrace all things feminine! Merely glancing over things Kate Spade makes me beam with joy at the fact that i am a woman, and such creations are made in mind of the woman (which I am). :] Why yes, it is quite expensive...but quite the quality. Why pay so much, we all ask. But today my question is for all of us is, why not admire? We can take it as a bit of inspiration! These little beauties you find your eye-balls glazed over with amazment by, are called the FOSTER. Kate Spade made with just a pinch of old-school-feminine-nerd-tanstic-ness. Could I be anymore in love with such a pair of frames? I KNOW NOT! And actually the price on the little puppies are not to shabby for frames... by this I am beyond ecstatic. I hope to someday have these gracefully resting on the arc of my nose, and the cure to my absolutely (not)attractive full-face-scruntching eye squint. In honor of Kate Spade I do this. :]
